How Can Product Quality Be Monitored and Improved?
Monitoring and improving product quality in catalytic processes involves several steps: - Characterization of Catalysts: Techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and BET surface area analysis help understand the catalyst’s properties. - Reaction Monitoring: Using in-situ analytical techniques such as FTIR and NMR to monitor the reaction progress. - Optimization of Conditions: Adjusting parameters like temperature, pressure, and reactant concentration to optimize the catalytic performance. - Post-Reaction Analysis: Assessing the product using techniques like GC-MS and HPLC to ensure that the desired product quality is achieved.
